Fashion Fights Poverty Runway Show
Tonight actress Parker Posey and local news anchor Will Thomas team up to host the Fashion Fights Poverty. The annual fashion show is the FFP’s biggest effort, and Washington D.C.’s largest fashion fundraiser. A creation of the Style & Image Network, FFP raises “awareness on how fashion, textiles, and artisanship can alleviate poverty and empower communities.” The runway show spotlights international designers dedicated to ethical design and manufacturing (”fair trade, equitable compensation, and the use of environmentally-sustainable materials”), and educates consumers on responsible shopping.
